Pre-Holiday Holiday Party - Chapter 1


The Pre-Holiday Holiday Party. Is that what you call it, really? Whatever. I thought it was bad when I first saw Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving. Oh Yeah! Newsflash ….Film on the Evening News. And now you see them out before Halloween. I mean don’t get me wrong. Thanksgiving was my favorite holiday once past the age of and I stopped getting ’s clothes from distant relatives that were 2 sizes to small for me. It was always a 4 day weekend, tons of food and football. I ask you what could be better as a , besides that…..lol. And now it has evolved to how do we cut fun down to the bare bones in an effort to spend as little as we can to tell employees thanks for busting your ass this past year. The holiday party is in October.

Little did I know as I entered the bar for a cocktail across the street from the Pre-Holiday Holiday Party, just what a different twist the holiday season would have in store. The bar was U-shaped but open in the middle unlike other places that would have liquor stacked so as you couldn’t see the other side. There were a half-dozen hi-top tables right in front when you first walked through the door. Once you got passed the bar there two pool tables and dart board and then the back of the place opened up slightly with large booths built into the wall, small dance floor and stage.

I walked past the length of the bar on the opposite side of the door since the one side was occupied and I really wasn’t in the mood to sit and chit-chat. The bartender finished pulling a pitcher of beer from the tap and made her way over to “my-side”. There was an electronic jukebox that I’m sure was being controlled from someone other than inside the establishment on the latest app. It was a song that I honestly had no idea who sang but it had a good beat and you could dance to it I thought to myself, giggling at images of Dick Clark and American Bandstand. That was what you wanted to watch on a shitty Saturday afternoon when you couldn’t go outside and do whatever it is you could do because there really wasn’t anything else to do. And the girls on American Bandstand definitely was the cause for longer showers you would take before going out to dinner with your parents later that evening.

I had just taken a sip of my Manhattan when in she walked. Not only did I notice but both bartenders and what appeared to be the manager that was on her way to a back office glanced at her also. And the other gents across from me each turned their heads to gaze as she strolled . Not a minute later, another patron walked in and passed me to the far end of the bar and sat down at the corner facing the front door.

I can hear the bartender ask what he liked as he gave her two orders. Aha, that explains the other that just marched in. She walked out of the bathroom as if on cue and plopped herself down in the barstool next to his right at the corner of the bar. I decided not to eavesdrop and just enjoy the drink and go through the obligatory end of the day check on the phone. But it was difficult even with the distance apart at the bar. That and her tight leggings accentuated the shape of her legs and with the boots on….Man, she was HOT! And I would have given 2 to 1 odds that she was left-handed because it was apparent her arm was moving slightly and it wasn’t because there was a drink in her hand. The smile and smirk on his face spoke volumes.

I did continue to sift through mindless bullshit in the<b> inbox </font></b>and made a few notes to myself as I drained what was left of my drink and waved to the bartender, along with a smile. She came over to collect the glass and give me a new one but told her not to bother there was still whiskey in that, to which she smiled and replied, don’t want that to go to waste now do you.

As she walked away, I told her that she can put a chip in front of each at the end of the bar for another round. They didn’t look like they were in a hurry and were more than entertaining at this point. I couldn’t but smile as she walked away. I may exhibit kind gestures to perfect strangers but a drink was typically not one of them. Not in this manner anyway. It had a different vibe to it and for whatever reason the mood struck and I did. She came back with my drink and another chip in her hand. Next one is on him she said. I looked at the end of the bar and raised my glass to them both.

“Much appreciated, here’s to cheap-ass office budgets and a pre-holiday holiday party.”

“Cheers.” They said in unison and we all took a healthy swallow. “You have an office party too?” He replied.

“Across the street.” I said.

“No Shit. We do too. It’s a nice place. Lots of room and dark corners to get in to trouble, if that’s your thing.”

The smile that crossed his face left no doubt that he spoke from experience for both of them.

“As luck would have it, that is sort of my thing too. Sometimes with a capital T.” As I raised my glass and drained what was left in the tumbler.

The bartender was obviously entertained the conversation from her smile as she grabbed my glass to pour another.

Oh....I learned all kinds of moves from that show. I was crushed when told they weren't really singing but just lip-syncing but then got over it quickly when they show hot girls dancing again. 😄
